The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms.

(read but not reviewed)
The study of algorithms is at the very heart of computer science.
In recent years a number of significant advances in the field of algorithms have been made.
These advances have ranged from the development of faster algorithms,
such as the fast Fourier transform, to the startling discovery of
certain natural problems for which all algorithms are inefficient.
These results have kindled considerable interest in the study of algorithms,
and the area of algorithm design and analysis has blossomed into
a field of intense interest.
The intent of this book is to bring together the fundamental results in this area,
so the unifying principles and underlying concepts of algorithm design
may more easily be taught.
